posted by Chief (Guest) - Tuesday 02nd June 2026, 7:02 PM Marco may have improved the likes of Iwobi and Bassey but the stats still say that our younger players such as Oscar Bobb, Josh King, etc have not improved under Marco and therefore there is no value added to these players' profiles. Marco Silva has proved to be a survival and consolidate your position expert in the premier league. After 5 years still no Euro spot?
posted by OWEN - Tuesday 02nd June 2026, 7:14 PM I have been reading these silly stories about who our new manager might be, and some of them are quite ridiculous, such as Parker, Rosiegnor, and McKenna. The Khans are top business men, and as far as I know, they are not stupid, so any of those would drive away, many of our loyal supporters, and we would become relegation fighters next season, and they won't risk that. At least I hope not. It will probably be someone completely out of the blue, who we haven't have thought of ! !
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Tuesday 02nd June 2026, 9:55 PM just been reading that only 8 managers remain from the 20 that started last season in the Premier league. That's a really dismal statistic. If supporters left in those sort of numbers the game would be up. It all comes down to unrealistic expectations and I'm wondering if the game is worth supporting anymore. I'm certainly not looking forward to this World Cup with all the news of rule changes at such short notice. Looks like mayhem coming

So Marco has decided to jump ship. This was probably obvious since Christmas. Should have been more honest as per palace and Bournemouth managers and give the club more time to negotiate new manager. As for Cuenca, wouldn’t be surprised if he left as never been given fair chance and never let team down when called upon. Hopefully the future will be good and see who we can bring in as new manager and players.
posted by Sussexcol (Guest) - Tuesday 02nd June 2026, 3:37 PM Pity about Cuenca I really liked him. Got potential. Glad to see the back of Silva a bloody saga longer than Lord of the Rings. Just hope our owners have not been sitting on their hands and are prepared to spend some money because they’ll be a few departures.
posted by Mortlake (Guest) - Tuesday 02nd June 2026, 3:48 PM Well at last the ongoing serial is over, and Marco has officially departed. It's not a big surprise, I must admit, as he must have known this for sometime, but for some reason, unlike the Palace and Bournemouth Managers, kept his cards close to his chest. Now the name game, is going to start, and we will only be getting a Manager, that is not worried that we are not involved in Europe, so that must be a real challenge. Although he is a marmite Manager, I would take a chance with Thomas Frank, if of course, he would be interested in coming to Fulham. All I do hope, is that we have someone in place quite quickly, and that it doesn't become yet another saga.

posted by The Time Is Now - Tuesday 02nd June 2026, 4:30 PM That's it then, Marco has gone, and although a bit disappointed, I think that it is the right time for both him and Fulham. I will wish him all the luck in the world in his new appointment, and sincerely thank him, for the good times, that we have shared with him. He was fantastic, when bringing us up from the Championship, and we held our own, under his stewardship in the Premier League, even if we have been slipping at the end of the last two seasons. Fingers really painfully crossed, I have a feeling that Thomas Frank was lined up when we played Brentford under the motorway, and I just didn't feel that Spurs was ever right for him, as it was one step beyond, but Fulham are his level, and provided our players except him, he could do a good job for us. Saying that of course the Khan's have probably already lined up someone completely different. interesting times ahead.
posted by LTS (Guest) - Tuesday 02nd June 2026, 4:35 PM Don't think the Khans knew Marco was leaving properly. They threw more money at him staying and i think for a small club like ours this was scandalous. A club like ours should not break the bank for any manager to stay unless he is Guardiola or someone like him. Ariola from Bournemouth is a better manager than Marco and i doubt Liverpool will give him 8-10 million, what are we doing?

I’d be. Interested in taking a gamble on the Hull manager - Sergie Jarkivoc. The work he’s done at Hull is pretty amazing. Motivator. He plays counter football with a solid defence. He’s not a Parker only interested in possession. He plays 4-2-3-1 which could suit us with our wingers prefer to come inside. A gamble but for sure but he could be the next Glassner.

I feel FFC would want someone less "demanding" than Silva. Rosey young European football with Strasbourg. No way Potch would look at us. Feel we need a football playing coach. Rob Edwards I like, has top flight experience. Gary O Neil now at Strasbourg also top flight experience. Sage looks like going to Palace. Did like Thomas Frank before he went to Spurs. The day after Silva goes we should be announcing new man, The new season will approach fast and we have 7 players on international duty. Perhaps a pre - season friendly against Benfica so we dont lose touch with Marco.

posted by DMK (Guest) - Tuesday 02nd June 2026, 7:49 AM If Marco wants the business completed and organized before the season starts, perhaps he should come clean about his future and where he stands. His constant refusal to sign on the dotted line and commit to Fulham is surely hampering future decisions in the transfer market and pre season commitments. I’m sure once all has come to light it will be the owners that the blame is pointed at, and not the current situation. Perhaps they should tell him to sod off and see if he gets the Benfica job. Been pleased with what he has achieved at Fulham but this situation is not ideal.

The fans miss one crucial point when commenting on "The owners won't spend what we need on new players." FFC are losing many millions every year and the owners have to keep an eye on the finances. I like Marco, BUT, his fiery temperament is reflected in his team. Time and again FFC have blown it when the pressure is on. Thanks for the ride Marco, but if you need to think about it for this long it's proof that you are waiting on Benfica, or others, and it's time to go.

Why blame the club who have a deal on table for months . If Marco had told club, we would know so would media everything gets out. Some fans blame Khans for everything there not perfect who is, but are the best owners since I’ve supported them in 1960. And please no one say Tommy Trinder who sold Alan Mullery without telling the manager. And sacked Bobby Robson who only read it in paper. The Muddymen saved the club but didn’t have enough money to run it. So had to sell it to MAF who we fault was great at the time not knowing what went on behind closed doors
posted by DMK (Guest) - Monday 01st June 2026, 5:56 AM Frankly, if I was Mr Kahn I would put a deadline like June 15 for Marco Silva to accept his generous offer or he goes without any new contract. What our club urgently needs of a settled management or no player is going to sign for us in August.

posted by Chief (Guest) - Monday 01st June 2026, 7:53 AM DMK of course the club are to blame if they haven’t left themselves with options. It’s standard business practice to keep abreast of the market and have at least a couple of people they’ve sounded out and know whether they would meet financial and sporting requirements. Yes, Marco has held the club to ransom but it would definitely be poor management if we don’t have a successor in mind after all this time. I for one would be disappointed and angry if we are starting from scratch to find a new head coach if Marco does leave!!!

In this instance it really shows a lack of consideration for fans on the part of all those involved. As fans, bums on seats, become less of a revenue source I expect things will get worse rather than better. Clubs increasingly being owned by investors or owners not steep in the roots of football isn’t going to help. I feel that these people have ripped the soul out of football aided and abetted by the football authorities and now find myself increasingly disinterested. At least I can be happy with my memories and feel a certain pleasure in having lived through the golden age of English football. As to the current situation, it is the biggest yawn imaginable!

Football contracts normally expire 30th June for accounting purposes. I believe the rumoured date he was given to except a new offer was 31st May. He’ll either be off or stay. I doubt many fans are that bothered given he looks to have been talking to other clubs and isn’t committed. Get a new bloke in now and give him a full pre season.

It is well documented that Benfica don't pay the high wages like the prem, or was Mourinho on more than we know? I wonder if the plan was for Marco to wait for the Man Utd or the Chelsea job originally? Things change rapidly in football and who would have thought that Ariola would be considered for Liverpool? I still think that Ariola is way ahead Marco tactically and it didn't help his job prospects with our inconsistencies in the latter stages of the season. Apart from Villa and Newcastle we looked a bit ropey playing football. Who will Marco sign for now? Bournemouth, Palace, or stay at Fulham with a 8 million pound pay rise? Its a no-brainer for me, Marco i say will stay at Fulham.

posted by DMK (Guest) - Sunday 31st May 2026, 7:47 PM Agree. £11m a year - we can attract a really top coach in Europe. We are getting a bit stale and even sussed out by other clubs.

During his time England were invariably in the top 4 teams in the world. Come on in Gareth.
posted by Mortlake (Guest) - Friday 29th May 2026, 2:23 PM And what was Southgate's record with Boro? the only league club he has coached, I believe they were relegated. He was just a FA project and yes man, but would probabaly fit in well at Fulham with the khans.

What many owners do not seem to see is the huge difference between a manager who get a team promoted from the Championship and one who can manage the incredible complexity of managing in the Premier League. Fulham were very clever in employing a PL manager who got us promoted very easily and has turned into a middle of the table team. If we get a manager who can take us on from where we are, perhaps even to win something, that would be splendid.

I agree with everything you said . Fulham is a poorly run club . It smacks of a son having a play thing rather than a professionally run business

Solomon done nothing since Fulham, are you saying same gonna happen to Chuka . Fulham like Chuka he wants to sign for us , but they feel he hasn’t proved to be worth the fee agreed were negotiating a lower fee, but not sure who our manager will be leaves it up in the air . Solomon didn’t want to sign for us Marco wasn’t sure, went to spurs did nothing how is that feel the same
posted by DMK (Guest) - Thursday 28th May 2026, 5:56 PM Not that it matters but I read at the time that Solomon did want to stay but Marco didn’t want him.

Marco going - disappointed but ok. Liam coming. No. Absolutely not. what has he achieved and can't hold a dressing room!?! We are too small now for Glassner. Otherwise, he'd be perfect. No Frank. Ange maybe. Unfortunately, we are again competing with Palace and Bournemouth for a top European manager!

Unfortunately unless something very strange happens i have a feeling marco isnt going anywhere and his plan has backfired . Real Madrid elections are on 7th june and its odds on the current president ,Florentino Perez will be reelected. His man is Mo and this date will be long past Marcos deadline this week.

Understandably, in addition to PL games, players are looking to boost their earnings with European and Cup matches. Fulham don’t have a great record in that department. Clubs with that record get the pick of the available player crop.

Personally I thought home losses to West Ham and Everton were our downfall. Bournemouth are a good team and who says we would have won with 11 v 10?
posted by MST (Guest) - Monday 25th May 2026, 2:33 PM Most of the team downed tools in February. Hardly think one tackle made a difference. It’s the management of the team at fault. If Marco stays it’ll continue, fresh blood might, and I mean might, take us forward. I fear though the board isn’t as committed to the team as we would like. Decent results might tip the balance and encourage them to spend a few quid.

Disappointing we didn’t make Europe by a couple of points yes, but a bit harsh to write “disappointing season” methinks. You’ve named two positives yourself. Beating Chelsea, taking four points off Bees and some good away wins with a fifth season in the prem are some positives I will take.
posted by MST (Guest) - Monday 25th May 2026, 8:18 AM MST, I was probably wrong to say that we have had a disappointing season, I was really thinking that it was a disappointing season, as far as expectations were concerned, when we should have qualified for a European spot easily, but as we all know, we have thrown away some stupid points, as per the recent Bournemouth and Wolves results. So near and yet so far. I suppose the word disappointing, should be associated with West Ham, who's fans must be devasted in looking forward to Championship football next season, although both them and Wolves will probably come straight back again. Unfortunately I backed Sunderland to be relegated, and now annoyingly is that they have qualified for Europe, and we didn't. Frustrating isn't it. Now we have to wait patiently Marco's decision with bated breath ! !
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Monday 25th May 2026, 10:02 AM It’s great we expect more, we’ve had far worse seasons. We have some good players who are disappointed and want more COYW
posted by DMK (Guest) - Monday 25th May 2026, 10:52 AM Wilson’s goals and cai4neys to also the goal against Liverpool not losing to little bees winning against Chelsea fewcgems in another disappointing season part of me says it’s time for a managerial. Change think we have to much talent to be a relegation side but as much as I like munis and imonis We have to look at striking options full backs ok maybey robbo an issue defence. Ok think a lot of our problems defence stemmed from left back giving ball away we seem on paper to have some exciting talent in the offensive positions not clicking at the moment bench a bit light

Hull have a transfer embargo for not paying their bills, buying players to improve the team and not handing over the fee and putting the selling team at a disadvantage I.e. cheating. Not really the best team then.
posted by Eric Pundit (Guest) - Sunday 24th May 2026, 3:02 PM Yes the right result. Would be wrong if Middlesboro went up.
